🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...

The largest citizen flotilla in history is sailing to Gaza with food and medicine. Israel has threatened to seize it - but together we can be their shield. Add your name to help watch over the flotilla and demand its safe passage! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-09...

Fun fact: fossil fuels cause Earth's habitat to overheat and shut down whether the fossil fuels come from a democracy or whether they come from a dictatorship

We're not going to have many democracies left if we keep choosing to tear the fucking wires out of life support systems

A new trade deal with South America called the EU-Mercosur deal would bring more food grown with banned pesticides into Europe, threatening our health and the livelihood of European farmers. Act NOW to protect Europe’s food standards #StopMercosur action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-02...

While you're on holiday, the EU is dismantling environmental protections 🏖️➡️💔 #HandsOffNature

I've just signed Peacekeepers' the open letter for Irish Neutrality. Can you do the same? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/pe...

Yesterday, I passed this small patch that had somehow escaped the ubiquitous ryegrass and sheep/cattle treatment.

It stood out like a flashing neon light, thronged with wildflowers,native trees, flying insects, and birds. Nature's only way of crying out to just be given a chance.

As I recall, three parties agreed an ambitious climate and nature PfG in the last government and all but a few members of Dáil Éireann voted in favour of the EU Nature Restoration Law.

Why then would we even want to remove internationally binding climate 'rules'? Poor show Business Post.

Just like in Germany or the UK.
People who fight for peace, human rights and international law get criminalized…

John’s been closely following Ireland’s response to the climate emergency for decades, and he has kept ALL the receipts.

I got a sneak preview of this book. I thought I couldn’t be shocked anymore, but my jaw is constantly dropping.

Out September 4th.

The UK has only one land border, the one with Ireland. Despite this, UK media enjoys being ignorant about Ireland. I haven’t read this as it’s too early in the century to flambé my brain with stupidity. So just from this screen shot - the terrorists were in this case, British! …

The latest episode of Weathered is really important to watch.

This episode discusses the alarming rates of ground water being depleted - and is used for a large portion of farming irrigation globally.

The number and variety of butterflies this summer is brilliant to see. Hopefully, it is a sign that we have not destroyed their habitats. Of course the weather in the spring and summer are probably part of the reason.

Morning in the garden.

🧵 Another beautiful day in Leitrim. This is a marina in the West of Ireland where skies & water bloom with clouds & azure blue.

Such colours are a part of my work, suggesting the infinite & the heavens, as you can see in this thread of my one-off ink on archival paper drawings:

Five EU countries have now turned their backs on the global ban on landmines. These deadly weapons mainly kill and injure civilians. We must stop this. Sign the petition to defend the ban before it’s too late. #EndLandmines action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-05...

Southern Europe is sweltering under life-threatening heat that could last through Monday, fueling wildfires that have left at least two people dead. In Spain, soldiers have been deployed to battle the fires and hundreds of people have evacuated. nyti.ms/46STog7

My thoughts on how billionaires like Dermot Desmond and Michael O’Leary hold unbalanced power through unrestricted access to the media despite having no expertise in transport or urban planning.

It’s not a coincidence. It’s capitalism at work.

In Ireland as elsewhere, fossil fuel lobby trying every trick in the book to argue for its continued existence, despite all the evidence.

HVOs are yet another deceptive sleight of hand, as @hannahdaly.ie explains.

One thing that will never, ever disappoint is delusional power of economists in imagining that the worst we have to worry about in next 2 decades is a "disappointing" rate of economic growth.

Even funnier, this guy used to chair Ireland's national #climate advisory council.

CCAC is supposed to be independent #climate advisory group to gov't in Ireland, yet it endorses BS livestock industry efforts to dodge methane cuts.

Fun fact: Expert review advised that Teagasc (dominated by dairy farmers) be removed from CCAC as it's biased.

This is not what we should accept as "normal'. We need to put the brakes on making the effects of climate change even worse. This is on our leaders to take action on both nationally & globally. Normalizing climate change does not make it more acceptable
